The sky is high, the clouds are clear, and the wind is warm.
Under the sun, on the grassland, Qin Huaidao came on horseback under the guard of his own troops. He rushed to a stop not far from the carriage. When he saw the curtain of the carriage opened, a man came down and looked at him with a stern look. He signaled Su Dingfang and others not to follow and rode up alone.
, said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Zhang Dashan, why do you come here to give me advice?"
"I have met the Lord Protector." The other party bowed respectfully and kept his posture very low. After the ceremony, he said calmly: "Gong Protector, the master asked me to ask a question. Why did you change your mind when you made the promise?"
Qin Huaidao's face turned cold: "Go back and tell your master, I don't care what he does, but it won't work to invite foreign invasion. The people of the Tang Dynasty are innocent. Anyone who dares to control the people's life and death at will is my enemy. Jinwei Governor's Mansion forcibly recruits men
Did you do it? Let everyone go."
"I will definitely bring the Lord Protector's words." The other party responded respectfully and was not angry.
"Threatening that all clans in Shanyu's Duhu Mansion will rebel, the master of your family has a good idea and frees all the people. He is not allowed to harm the people. As long as he agrees to these two points, I don't care what your master does, otherwise I will have no choice but to go to Shanyu."
Yu Duhufu asked him face to face, get out of here." Qin Huaidao scolded him.
The other party still looked calm, bowed, got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly left.
Qin Huaidao watched the carriage go away, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed down. The two brothers were fighting for the throne. Qin Huaidao didn't bother to care. No matter who sat in the position, it was not okay to use the people as pawns to lure foreigners to invade the Tang Dynasty. This was the bottom line.
It is rumored that the hidden prince Li Jiancheng Renyi has changed his temperament and gone crazy after losing his kingdom.
"General?" Su Dingfang's voice came from behind.
Qin Huaidao raised his palms to signal not to disturb him. He looked around with sharp eyes and landed on a hillside not far away. It was about ten meters above the ground and the area was large enough. He pointed at the hillside and shouted: "Put the Chinese army's tent up here.
On the hillside, the troops were ordered to defend each other and set up camps three miles apart." Negotiations are negotiations, and the due care must be taken.
"Follow the order." Su Dingfang quickly arranged for someone to send orders to all armies.
"drive!"
Qin Huaidao rode straight towards the slope. When he rushed up, he saw a wide view and a small lake not far away. The water problem could be solved. It was suitable for camping. He thought he would wait a moment.
The pro-army troops rushed over and dismounted one after another to set up the Chinese military tents. After hearing the news, the various tribes also rushed over. The Chinese and Chinese military tents were separated as the center and stationed on the front, left, right, middle and fifth roads, keeping distance from each other.
They were stationed next to each other, one on the left and one on the right, blocking the front of the Chinese military tent.
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of gathering drums sounded in the central military tent, and generals from all departments came on horseback.
Qin Huaidao stood in the central military tent and waited. The chief generals of each department came in one after another and waited on both sides.
Not long after, the five generals arrived at Qi Hou Qin Huaidao and said: "Su Dingfang."
"The end will be here." Su Dingfang said, cupping his fists.
"Send a large number of scouts to investigate the enemy's situation within a thirty-mile radius, and there must be no mistakes."
"Follow the order!" Su Dingfang solemnly promised.
Qin Huaidao looked around at the generals and continued: "It is difficult to predict whether the enemy will attack. Each department will immediately dig a large number of horse traps in front of the military formation to prevent sneak attacks. The area must be large. If we do not attack during the day, there will most likely be a night attack. It must be
Take precautions, if there is an enemy situation, do not run around, just stick to your respective camps to avoid blowing up the camp."
"Follow the order," the generals responded.
"The army cooks in pots and cooks. After eating, it is divided into two and takes turns to rest. If the spirit is too tense, it will easily cause confusion. If the enemy fails to attack and evacuates, they are not allowed to pursue them. Just hold on tight. Go ahead."
The soldiers agreed and left one after another.
Qin Huaidao asked people to find the leaders of various clans, and told them not to move around at night to avoid misunderstandings that would lead to mutual attacks. He sent people to infiltrate the black city to find his own clansmen to surrender.
The leaders of each tribe also knew that they were still the target of suspicion before proving themselves. They were sensitive at night and would cause misunderstandings if the army moved erratically. They agreed fully and left, making their own arrangements.
Qin Huaidao came to a commanding height and looked towards the direction of the Black City. A gentle breeze came slowly, picking up the withered grass and flying towards the distance. The army had arrived and the demands had been made. How would that person choose?
You must not agree, right?
The flag of rebellion has been raised. To hand over the troops would be to cut off an arm. If it were you, you would not surrender. If you don't want to surrender, you would have to strike first. The next step will depend on the courage of Prince Yin.
Half an hour later.
"Report——"
A scout galloped over on horseback and said: "Reporting to the general, a large number of cavalry has been found in the west. It is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 cavalry. The attack is menacing and the intention is unknown."
"Report——"
Another scout came forward on Pegasus: "General General, there is an army of 50,000 people appearing in the south. The composition is complex. There are alien races from the grasslands and border troops from the imperial court. There seems to be another army in the distance behind it. It cannot be seen clearly, and its purpose is unknown.
.”
"Report - A large number of troops, no less than 100,000, were found in the east, flying the imperial flag."
Qin Huaidao listened to the reports of three people in succession and seemed to see a big net being dropped on his pocket. Prince Yin was decisive and shouted: "Let's explore again and send an order to other scouts to strangle the incoming scouts."
"Follow the order." The three of them left quickly.
Su Dingfang said in surprise: "General, how could the imperial army appear? There are actually 100,000 imperial troops in the east. Something is wrong. Could it be that the army sent by the imperial court to quell the chaos has arrived?"
"The situation is more complicated than you expected. Send the order and speed up the digging of the horse pit." Qin Huaidao warned.
Su Dingfang quickly arranged for someone to deliver the order, and then asked: "What does the general mean? The imperial court's 100,000 troops are also coming for us. Why?"
"Why? The general also wants to know." Qin Huaidao responded in a deep voice. Although he agreed in his heart, he could not say it himself, otherwise it would cause the soldiers to think too much and shake the morale of the army.
Not long after, a scout came and went to report that there were more than ten thousand troops coming from the west, and another one, totaling twenty thousand troops, stopped ten miles away and set up camp. The armies from the east and south also stopped ten miles away, and they will
He semi-surrounded himself, leaving only the north side.
"Is this a trick to surround three people but one is missing?" Qin Huaidao snorted disdainfully. The traitor Wang Tongfu was right. It was really a killing plan aimed at him. The total number of troops in the three groups was 200,000. Prince Yin
I really think highly of myself. To the west is probably the Jieli Ministry, and to the south is the Heicheng. But what’s going on with the 100,000 imperial troops to the east?
Su Dingfang saw that Qin Huaidao was deep in thought and was silent, so he couldn't help but remind him: "General, I thought the situation was better than expected, but now it seems that the situation is very bad. The Relic, Chuo, Ashina and Sibi tribes have turned against each other in the face of the battle.
However, more than 10,000 people will not help the situation, so preparations must be made as soon as possible."
"You mean to withdraw?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"The general misunderstood, and the last general thought that it would be best to break out of the encirclement and attack one group at a time. It would be best to defeat them one by one." Su Dingfang said bravely.
"It makes sense, but have you ever thought about it? Maybe the enemy wants you to do this, and deliberately lets go of the north to wait for you to escape, and then looks for opportunities to attack the various ministries. The ministries have no way to retreat and can only fight to the end. Therefore, I plan to do the opposite.
Let’s go, let’s see what the conspiracy is behind this falling to the ground.”
"Did you do it on purpose?" Su Dingfang was not stupid. He was able to tell the truth at once. He thought of a lot in an instant. Following his train of thought, he gradually realized something and said suddenly: "What the general means is that there is something wrong with the one hundred thousand imperial army in the east. They were deceived."
,use?"
"Isn't that true? It will be revealed soon." Qin Huaidao said coldly. When he saw Chuo Luosi coming over, he stopped talking and went up to him and asked, "Chuo Luosi, what's the matter?"
"Back to the general, the people sent to contact him were killed when they approached the black city, and they were unable to contact their own people."
Qin Huaidao warned: "If the prediction is correct, your people are in the south and have been surrounded by the army. Inform other tribes to send people south to investigate and find their own tribesmen. If you have the chance, bring them over. If you don't have the chance, forget it. Try not to
Show up, avoid being implicated, and find a way to get in touch later in the evening."
"Thank you, General, for your consideration." Seeing Qin Huaidao thinking about everyone, Choros was filled with gratitude. After chatting for a few words, he hurriedly went to the various ministries to deliver orders.
After Choros walked away, Qin Huaidao whispered: "Go there personally and inform Li Yixie of the Chinese army to be more careful and beware of any evil tricks from the four tribes. In extraordinary times, it is necessary to be on guard against others, but don't do it too obviously."
, so as not to chill everyone’s hearts.”
"Understand that the enemy's army is large and our army is weak. There is no hope of victory. There is no guarantee that they will not have other thoughts. It is a wise move of the general to prepare for a rainy day." Su Dingfang agreed and hurried away.
